Miffed.

(Heh.. I stole that from Moon.)

But ANYWHO. Just a little peeved. I hate when people tell me that they're taking my photos rather than asking if they can use it on their profile, and then waiting to do so.

Not that it's a huge ordeal, but someone said that they're taking a bunch of my Reno photos to put on their Facebook albums, and by "a bunch" he meant all. So I'm only credited for taking two of the pictures, and I guess the rest of them don't matter.

Like I said, it's not a terribly big deal, it's just fucking annoying that this same person NEVER gives me ANY credit for anything I do. He'll play it off like it was his idea/execution; instead.

So, I'm home from the West, now. I got home this morning at 9:40am. The trip was so fun! We went to San Jose for a night, then over to Reno for two days. Reno was so much fun, we got to hang out with Del Mar, of whom are all very very nice. We were invited back for January to go snowboarding and play a couple of shows with them. Bud Gaugh invited us personally to go snowboarding this winter with them at Lake Tahoe. Everything was so cool. After we were done at Reno, we went over to Santa Monica, California. It was beautiful! It was like the Coney Island of the west, only much much cleaner. It was wonderful! The only thing I wish we could've done was gone to Lake Tahoe. But we couldn't go because we didn't have enough time :(. I'm excited to go back. We're going to do a week of shows, and then a week of play. And, beforehand I'll learn to snowboard so I don't end up rolling down the slopes. This trip was definitely the MOST fun weekend I have EVER had. It was even better than the weekend cruise to the Bahamas. Being able to hang out with Del Mar and be referred to by them as "friends" was just an awesome feeling. We were introduced as the "friends from New York". It was great.

We Blew Out of this Town

So, Jesse, Erik, and I are headed west this week. Jesse and I are leaving on Wednesday afternoon, the moment I get out of work, and Erik's meeting us there on Thursday.

Jesse and Erik will be playing a show with Del Mar, featuring Bud Gaugh of SUBLIME, on Thursday night, and then we're headed straight to LA. :)

So I figured I won't have much time to blog (heh... this sentence is so lame) until I get back from the wild,wild west... so I'll do it now, while I have the time.

Last night, Hazmat Bay played at Mc. Z's Pub, which is a nice little bar. I thought they played well.. they did two sets with a half hour intermission in between. It was fun, Megan came with us and it was cool to hang out with Megan and Kim. :)

On Wednesday, Hazmat Bay played at Ollie's Point, and opened up for "Soul To Squeeze" a RHCP tribute, that was sub-par. But the bar was beautiful, and was all about reggae music, which I enjoyed infinitely. That was the first time I was in the bar since it was Molly Bloom's II : a good old shit hole. I was very excited about how it came out, and the owner is terribly awesome. They played after Maui Waui and the Good Vibrations, which was a very fun band. I enjoyed their performance. They go well with Hazmat Bay. Both bands were incredibly energetic, and it was a lot of fun. Moon came down with Sean and her cousin Dean, which was awesome, I really appreciated her coming down and showing support :D. HMB played an intense cover of Santeria (by SUBLIME) where Geoff took the lead on trumpet. It was awesome to hear the crowd scream the words to the Geoff. A very, very good show :)

So now, I am going to start packing and charging batteries and get ready for my superlong flight to San Jose, CA. WEST COAST: I'm coming for you! (And totally not excited about the fact that the day I'll be over jetlag will be the day I come home, and have to get used to it again in NY)

PEACE.
